Donald Jenkins was 35 when he was shot to death in the early morning hours of August 12, 2015. Jenkins, from Pittsburgh’s North Side, was visiting his girlfriend in Rankin on Miller Avenue around 4 a.m. when two or three gunshots rang out. A neighbor heard the shots and the girlfriend’s screams; she tried to keep Jenkins conscious but he was shot in the trunk and died at UPMC Mercy less than thirty minutes later. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

The family said they suspected the shooter was someone Jenkins knew. Authorities named Cyrano Morrison as a suspect; after a weeklong search he was located in Bellaire, Ohio, and extradited to Pennsylvania on charges including criminal homicide, recklessly endangering another person, and firearms offenses. In August 2018 Morrison pleaded guilty to third-degree murder, recklessly endangering another person, and two firearms violations and received a prison term of 20 to 40 years plus two years probation for the other charges.

Did anyone in Rankin around Miller Avenue that morning see or hear anything that could shed more light on what happened?
